All in all we have to give the Xperia X1 high marks, especially for Sony Ericsson’s first attempt at a Windows Mobile device. Having HTC by your side definitely helps, but we like Sony’s innovative panel interface even if it isn’t quite as good as TouchFLO 3D. The screen is downright gorgeous, and the keyboard one of the better ones we’ve used. There is room for improvement though, and we eagerly await the X2. Read more

We're very impressed with the device, after initially doubting it could bring enough to the table to compete with the more affordable Sprint HTC Touch Pro and HTC Fuze on AT&T. The hardware is impeccable, the panels are both fascinating and useful, and of course there's no carrier bloatware! Though other phones offer many of the same features, somehow the Xperia X1 has that special sauce where the whole is greater than just the sum of its features. It's fun, it's cool... Read more

Smartphone Fuses Floundering Features Together With Mixed Results We've been waiting since CTIA to get our mitts on a fully baked X1. As the full-featured flagship of Sony Ericsson's multimedia phones we had high hopes for the device. The spec sheet reads like a recipe for excellence: multiple high speed data options, customizable menus, YouTube support, with music and video apps bursting out the no-no place. But seven months later? Meh. This powerful phone may have gown... Read more

This is the best Windows Mobile device that has ever passed my desk. Period. Sony Ericsson was right by declaring it a "game changer" - this has raised the bar, and if the Panel interface takes off and we see a lot of neat Panels, the X1 could become a benchmark mobile device. Read more

This phone can do anything! Don't forget to make sure that your exchange server has been patched(very easy) and some of the programs and options are almost buried in sub menus. I could go on for a 100 pages about how good this phone is and how helpful Expansys have been. The google maps satellite view with the gps is unbelievable it seems to have a 1/2 meter resolution as the dot moves when walking about. Fantastic! I am an long awaited upgrade from a P910i Read more

First impression was WOW...overall performance is good, reading email, replying them is good and easy thanks to the QWERTY keyboard but the touch screen keyboard is not so good and easy to use...i wish they can make it more spacious and easy to use. Love the panel innovation on the smartphone genre... Although... Read more

I bought this phone as I was looking for a new Windows Mobile device that wasn't too big, but had a VGA screen and also a slide out qwerty keyboard. I'd already had the HTC Diamond so didn't want to get the HTC Pro so this was naturally my phone of choice. The screen on this phone is excellent as is the whole look of the phone. THe phone is not too heavy but feels very solid in the hand and of good quality. The processor on this phone is very fast, and lots of RAM too... Read more

I have had this phone for 12 months now and think it is the best phone I have ever used. I am still finding out new stuff each week. If you are right into phones and pc's then this is a great phone for you. I love this phone and would buy another one as I was going to buy a htc but found this phone while waiting for them to release the htc then had to wait for this phone and was well worth the wait.
